That looks like an invocation using rsyncd; which I would avoid. The time to
use rsyncd is when backing up Windows, because cygwin ssh+rsync is buggy and

Keep in mind that BackupPC has both:

Hi Guys
I use the BackupPC_tarCreate method for creating archived tar.gz files for
backup to removable media. However I'm having trouble with some of the files
actually growing in size once they are gzipped.
The one that are growing are backups of already compressed audio files.
